my dad met a guy in new york who's job was literally begging on the streets

he'd go out, put on nasty clothes, beg on the street, stop for the day, put on a suit and tie and go home to his wife and kids

people like to complain about capitalism and corporate greed and yes no doubt that's an issue

but this taking culture we have, where people just expect handouts to fuel their desires and not their needs is ridiculous too

Where I grew up, I saw a guy in the city who had a cane and acted like he couldn’t walk. I then saw him turn a corner further down the street and run up a hill. I was really young, like 7 or 8, when I saw that. To this day I’m very skeptical about beggars. I want to help, but I can’t shake the assumption that they may be faking it.

if i had a surplus of money

i'd probably do it more often

but at the moment i'm struggling myself

i'm not giving you money just because i have a car and you don't

just because i have a job and scrape enough by to have a car, go out to eat once a month does not mean that you are entitled to my money because you can't

And let's be fair, some people are literally unable to work, and that's sad, but a lot of people simply don't want to

Yeah. I understand. I’m a little bit better off, so I can afford it some. I’d rather do other things where I know that the money and my time get used wisely.

i'd like to think if i had bill gates level of money i would finance all sorts of homeless shelters, but then i remember people who just abuse them

i don't want to satisfy your prefferred lifestyle

i want to help you earn it

I personally think that local church’s should step in more with homelessness. They can screen people way more effectively and there is ample space for it. Oh course, the concern is about safety. I think we should open mental asylums again. That would help too.

The thing about Jesus is that the left has no intention on advocating that you follow jesus

it's more about the fact that they are distorting his teachings and using them as a club to beat his followers with

Yes. I totally agree.

>oh, you follow jesus, you can't be a christian, though, because you don't support social programs x, y, and z. I'm so much better than you because I think Jesus was a cock, and I follow his teachings better than you do

You could somewhat describe me as an evangelical Christian. I completely understand the deceit that comes from them.

the left really loves that Trump is president because Trump is an adulterer, and the churchy types were so against adultery for so long

I......actually don't know where the left stands on that anymore though

I am not an evangelical Christian...most would describe me as a Gnostic

Yeah, whenever I see someone saying ‘oh you can’t support Trump because he’s an adulterer’, I retort back and say ‘you wanted my Christian conservative values out of politics, you got it, quit complaining’.

not "agnostic", an actual gnostic

Ok.

I've been pouring through scripture as well as documentation not included in the bible and historical records from other factions in the region for almost my entire adult life because I don't believe we're getting the whole story, and I don't trust the human portion of most churches

The human portion of church always needs some level of criticism in order for it to function correctly.

I believe that many in the church have forgotten the role of church in society. That’s mostly in part due to over reliance on the government

back to the christian thing, though

the thing about Jesus, he said to give to the poor. He never said "give to the government, so they can give to the poor"

in fact, there were several cases where he was quite adamant about leaving the government out of it

Jesus established the philosophy of separation of church and state. Mathew 22:21

Personally I think the left fucked themselves by bringing out a rape accusation

And the right have cucked themselves by giving them the stage

Yeah. They may have well done that. Who knows what will happen this November. I live in a gloriously red state, so it shouldn’t be an issue for me.

The people who orchestrated this have not yet fully grasped the speed, power and reach of social media

And how information spreads like wildfire, and bullshit is called out fairly early on

I love the claim 'it's just a job interview, if he doesn't get it then his life isnt ruined

Im sorry, you're accusing him of rape, he is a judge, rape is a fairly high crime, if we say he is guilty then his life is ruined

If he's not guilty then why should he not sit?

They don’t care.

Of course they don't

The problem lies with the lack of actual adversity with the average citizen

Rape is apparently now a relative term

Relative to the well-being of the average person

You raped me by making that statement

Go to jail, don't pass go

Well, it was a relative term in the Jim Crowe south too.

Relative to the race of the victim?

Absolutely. Listen and believe in full force.

_Or is this an incest joke_

Lol.

Incest is an Arkansas and West Virginia thing.

Jk

lol

😏

I want to talk to a leftist on level ground

Look up the scottsboro trial.

I'm not right wing by any means, but I want to know how the hell they can rationalize this

Which reminds me, the new change my mind is coming soon

Can't wait

It’s already out. I haven’t watched it yet though

get aspirin before you watch it. Your brain is going to hurt

That's about right

The first girl to sit down was all sorts of off-putting

I tried to watch it. just couldn't

>how can you sit here and say rape culture isn't a thing. I was raped

Rape culture isn't a thing because you were raped, was the person punished yes or no? Yes, not rape culture then

>he wasn't punished. He's still walking this very campus and I see him every day

Also apparently rape is more common than I thought since there seems to be an over abundance of people willing to claim they were raped

What did he do? Look at her? Lol

yeah...what is it now...3 in 2 college girls are raped nowadays?

We're living in an evidence culture... and that is problematic.

Cory booker literally said 1/3 of all woman have been sexually maligned in some way.

Ridiculous

sexually maligned isn't the same as rape, but it's being sold as that

alright, I've got to record

Yeah. I’ve actually been sexually harassed by a woman before. It was uncomfortable when it happened and now it’s a funny story. Lol

The problem is retroactively coming to the conclusion something was rape

If you're sexually active, and someone's raping you; you'll know it's rape then and there.

The problem is that nobody likes the police and insists on court of public opinion

Yes. You can’t decide that you didn’t give consent later on.

you don't need evidence or an indictment in the court of public opinion

That's almost true, as this rule applies only to cases and sides that advance a culture of non-critical thinking

🙃 The world is upside down

Must be nice for you Australians

Finally right side up for once

Not an Australian; I live below sea-level.

I'm fucked either way

Atlantis?

The Netherlands, so essentially yeah

it's been a long time since I've had a story on my channel that didn't involve someone with the initials BK

Posted an article I was sent in <#266401012967931905>
According to a BC teacher, racism, the death penalty and surveillance states are all exclusively right wing

Remains to be seen if this is a broader sort of fuckery or specific to this school/instructor

I direct said teacher to the US Civil War, and Communist Russia

it's the same thing when people call National Socialism a right wing party

it's rooted in their anti semitism, which their college professors told them definitively proves it's right wing

Man the fascism one is super annoying
